4/10 Fair

Room was very small so struggled with luggage space. Also, walls were dirty. I was hoping it was dirt as opposed to mold, but honestly don't know. Bathroom was also small with little space to put anything. Location was good near to metro station. Breakfast was also good. Staff were nice. Sadly, I have given the poor rating due to the condition of the room.

2/10 Poor

Staff were great. Room was too small and grotty. We bailed and went to $100 a night luxury elsewhere. My wife thinks it should renamed “Frown Hotel” or “ Cry Hotel”. On the bright side there is a great Crème Brûlée donut restaurant across the street and a sake shop.

I stayed in a traditional Japanese Tatami room for the first time, it was a nice surprise! The buffet breakfast included was a very nice gesture. Staff were friendly and helpful - the lift somehow stops at the second floor (front desk) everytime regardless- not sure why!
